    Hey all, here is a day in my life as a second-year medical student. This was the day before my Musculoskeletal/Derm exam. Hope you guys like it!
    I feel like all I do is eat and Anki...
    Who am I:
    My name is Zach. I'm a second-year medical student in Philadelphia. I make videos about medical school, entrepreneurship, and other cool things. I love trying new things and often mess up. However, every time I screw up I usually learn something. Whatever I learn I post either on UA-cam or my website 🌐 (zhighley.com/).
    I write a weekly newsletter 💌 (zhighley.com/newsletter/) linking the best things I read, watched, and listened to that week. Not a single person has unsubscribed from this list (yet 😬).

      The animation style is almost the same but I prefer kharma medics animation style and love the intro where you welcome everyone with the classic “welcome to another dose”. I am a first year medical student, I mean I was until I left Poland where I watched MA to MD vids and I had sent him an email regarding studies there and well it wasn’t exactly pleasant in the pandemic so we abandoned it there and I am rethinking to studying medicine in India, I mostly made a regrettable decision but it’s one that could not be helped due to family affairs.

Now, one year later, I’m rewatching it but in a completely different mood, I passed the test and I’m so happy I chose to peruse this career ❤️. Thanks Zach, you helped me so much.

    Awesome video Zach. Could you please do a video on how to properly search for content in the Anking for non-US medical students? I know you mentioned in one of your videos how to look at tags and decide, but I'm having a hard time searching Anking for relevant cards. I hope this makes sense. Keep up the good work.

    • @ZachHighley
      @ZachHighley  3 роки тому

      Hey, the best way to do it is to use a third-party resource (B&B, sketchy, pathoma) and then go to browse -> look at the sidebar -> and find that *tagged* third party resource. Then you just unsuspend those cards.
      If you are unsure of school-specific content I would go to browse -> search in the search bar -> scroll down and then look at the tags -> one of those tags will usually be labeled to a third-party resource if you have trouble finding the content.
